Katahnia gasped as the man jumped over the balcony.
"D-Duke Shanley!" she shouted, her own hands going to the railing as she clutched onto them, breathing out a sigh of relief as the man landed alright. But then, like a dog, he tore after Klaust. A hand went to her lips to stifle a gasp, and a smile hidden beneath there.

Then quick thinking had her grabbing onto her skirts and rushing down the staircase to the gardens below, but no matter where she looked, she couldn't find Conall, nor Klaust.

"Duke Shanley!?" she shouted, now entering into the maze like bush gardens the pair had disappeared into, but sighed when she kept finding dead end after dead end, but there was no sign of either of them. SO she sighed again, realizing, she was lost.

It was only because he'd caught Klaust off-guard and gotten a head start that Conall managed to catch up with the man. Conall lunged as soon as he was close enough and tackled the larger man to the earth a few hundred feet from the water fountain where a young couple had stolen away to make smoochie faces at each other.

Imagine their surprise when they were interrupted by Duke Shanley pinning a seedy looking man with dark hair and a foreign look about him to the ground beneath him. The lady gasped and the lord drew her away hastily, sensing there was something unpleasant about to occur.

"Get OFF me!" Klaust snarled and threw Conall off , but as he scrambled away the Duke bodily tackled him again and they rolled over one another, fighting like a pair of rabid dogs. Punching, kicking and biting...though most of this was coming from Klaust.

Conall , despite his rage, wasn't going to beat the crap out the snake. Yet. He was, even in this state, still a gentleman. Sort of. An angry gentleman, but a gentleman....as gentle as he could be. He seized a fistful of Klaust's collar and jerked the man's head up to look him in the eyes. He looked about ready to tear the stalker in half, "Where is she!?"

Klaust spat in his face, and smashed his forehead against Conall's as hard as he could. Conall's head jerked back on impact and he lost his grip on the man's shirt, falling back onto his rear. Klaust scrambled away though not before aiming a vicious kick to the Duke's face.

Chesrick Klaust was not about to be bested by some petulant duke. And more than one kick was directed at Duke Shanley's head.
"What on earth are you going on about?" he growled, wiping off the blood on his lower lip on the back sleeve. "You're a mad man!"

ANd it was then Katahnia ran onto the scene. "Shanley!" she shouted, dropping to her knees as her eyes went wide. She glared daggers up at Klaust. "You!"s he said, pointing a finger directly in his face. He batted it away.

"It seems you need to keep your friends on a tight leash. I have done nothing wrong this evening and he just suddenly attacked me." His eyes narrowed. Katahnia narrowed her's back.

"That's because I saw you in the window with Kella," Katahnia hissed.

The man made a face. "Kella?" he waved it off. "She was unnerved by my presence, but when I offered her a drink, she seemed to all but vanish in thin air. Frail girl she is. Beautiful, but frail."

Conall wiped the blood from his nose and his lip. He'd raised his arms in time to prevent any further damage and then he was up ready to discard whatever honor he had left in favor of a good old fashioned ass kicking. He could stop being a gentleman for this moment. Klaust was asking for it!

However, as he rose to his feet Kahtania arrived and the verbal exchange was on.

"You think me mad? You, sir, haven't even begun to see that side of me," Conall bristled. No, he had no idea. None of them did. "Perhaps you'd like to find out?"

Now he pointed at Klaust, "I don't even know who YOU are? Are you even ON the guest list? Probably not..." Now that was a little low of him , but Luvina was, well...she wasn't very fond of foreigners at her party. This was beside the point though. If he was an unwelcome guest....he had NO right being here.  And he wouldn't have even cared about that if the man wasn't such a slimy creep.

"You're full of shit!" Conall just couldn't hold his anger in. He was always keeping himself in check. Always swallowing his words when he wanted to say something and just tolerating the bullshit....

And he could tolerate a lot . Let it roll over his shoulders but not this. THIS was not okay with him and if Kella wasn't going to speak up for herself, well, someone had to say something. Someone had to point out that it certainly wasn't okay.

"Leave her alone, I won't tell you that again." He spat venomously. "She's not interested in you. Even I could see that."

And then he did another unexpected thing....

He slugged Klaust and knocked him flat on his ass. Like a gentleman.

Katahnia gasped.
"C-Conall!" she shouted, not sure how to react to such a thing as her hands clapped over her mouth that now hid the smile that was there. She was quick to move to Conall's side.
"Come on, before they kick you out of this party," she said, grabbing onto his arm. "We still have to find Kella.."

Klaust sat up now, a hand wiping at the blood trickling down his nose as he gave them a sneer.
"Kella had gone off with some other woman to powder her nose," he said, then pushed himself up with a grunt. "But maybe it's you who shouldn't be allowed to go near her. She's too frail to with stand such a ruffian like yourself." and he smoothed down his suit, glaring back at Conall as if to challenge him any further.

"He's right," Blaith said, stepping out into the gardens. "And what's going on here?" He looked from Conall over to Klaust, and his face split into a grin. "You're still here, Chesirck?"

Klaust narrowed his gaze at Kella's twin, almost seemin as if he were to hiss at him.

"I thought I had told your sorry ass to get out of this place." It was then Kella peered out from Blaith's side and gasped, noticing the blood on Conall's face.

"Duke Shanley, you're hurt!"s he said, and rushed to his side, offering over the hankerchief he had given to her from earlier. "Here.. allow me.. please." she said, gently dabbing at the blood upon his cheek and lips.

Katahnia grew silent, stepping away to allow her cousin to tend to Conall's wounds befre turning around on her heals and glaring daggers at Klaust with mean, green eyes.
"Didn't you hear any of them? We wish you to be gone!" Katahnia said, making a shooing motion with her gloved hands.

Klaust simply looked over Katahnia with a lustful, but also sneering gaze before he glared back towards Conall, his eyes containing the fire's of hell in his rage. But he steeled himself.
"Of course. I would not remain if it were to upset Lady Harmond." and he bowed to them. "Good evening." Before he turned to disappear.


Blaith was glaring daggers at the man before he shook his head but turned a grin over towards Duke Shanley.
"So how did it feel to punch him in the face? Had I known you would have done it, I would have softened it earlier with a punch of my own."

He was hardly offended for it might have been true, but all Conall's intentions here were to keep a creep away from a gentle lady who clearly did NOT desire his force. If THESE were the type of men that went after Kella....it was little wonder why Blaith was so protective. He only had to think of his own little sister and he understood those feelings.

"A ruffian I may be to YOU, but at least I can respect a lady's boundaries! " Conall spat back, "Something YOU , clearly, don't care about. I know YOUR kind. Forceful, manipulative...you bullied her into dancing with you and the reason she flees is because she's afraid of you. Any woman would be. You're a creep! But I'm not afraid and I'd strike you again and again until YOU get this through your THICK skull! Your advances are NOT welcome!"

He wasn't petty about it. Didn't point out that Kella wasn't really afraid of him and it seemed that she might have had a bit of fun. 

He stood there rigidly near Kathtania and looked over his shoulder at her
uncertainty as the Turgalls appeared. It surprised him that Kella rushed over to him. Surely, his injuries weren't THAT serious.

"Lady Turgall," He bowed slightly, seeming to fall back into his usual  , gentlemanly routine. He was relieved. "Oh..." He touched his bleeding lip and shrugged, "Oh this is nothing. I took a couple hits, but it's nothing. Really. " A small lie. "Father always said that a real man needs to feel pain every now and then. It helps grow hair on the...er. Face." That was NOT exactly how the late Ainemire Shanley would have phrased it , but his father was so....coarse and vulgar and repeating what he'd say was NOT for a lady's ears. He offered a kindly smile to Kella , appreciative that she volunteered to tend to his face even if she was wiping his blood on his own kerchief. "Thank you."

He turned to regard Blaith , not missing the man's comment about punching Klaust and he looked troubled, " I- apologies. I  am not one  normally turn to such violence , but  it felt strangely gratifying. I had a sister who would attract undesired attentions. I do not like men like this...Chesrick Klaust. His manner, his tactics....they're – he's a bully and I don't tolerate such things. Ever."   He shook his head, "I am relieved that all is well. Though I fear I may have worn out my welcome tonight. " He chuckled. He'd angered a lot of nobles this evening with his....antics. Most of them would end up forgetting or getting over it....except maybe Calent but he really didn't care what Allarick thought of him. He didn't need Allar's approval. They were ONE duchy and as much as Calent liked to think it, HE was not the only important person here.

"I uh...think I should remain here for awhile. Please, don't let me keep you all from enjoying yourselves. "

Kella shook her head, remaining at his side.
"Please, let me at least escort you to the wash rooms," she pressed. "It's the least I can do. To help clean your wounds."

Katahnia smirked at the way Kella was fussing over Duke Shanley.
"I don't know, you two both might need an escort there for all the trouble you've caused," but hse gave a light chuckle to remind them it was in jest. "Come, let's all head up that way.I'm sure Blaith would be more than kind enough to fill us in on what happened."

Blaith shrugged. "Not much to tell. Kella handled herself on her own quite well, even if she had to lie to get the creeper to get away from her."

Kella blushed. "Though I'm afraid I'm not much of a liar. He probably things dreadful things of me now."

Katahnia laughed at that. "Anyone thinking dreadful thoughts over you, Kella. Is crazy. If anything, he'll probably become more infatuated with you," she said with a playful roll of her eyes. "But come along, let's not keep our Duke waiting, I'm sure he'd like to get all of that blood off of his nose." ANd her eyes danced along with her teasing tone as she hooked arms with Blaith while Kella was gently taking Conall.

"Come, the wash rooms are just this way..." she said, softly. Then, once they were well on their way, she stole a moment to them, when she believed Kat's ears were deaf to her. "Thank you." she said, underneath her breath in barely a whisper. "I... I know it must not have been easy what you have done. Your concern for me was very noble and very bold." And her cheeks flushed as she continued to avert his gaze, eyes remaining down to the floor. But soon Kathania was giggling and Kella looked overa t her cousin and chanced a quick glance back to the pair.

Katahnia said nothing , but tossed her cousin a wink before they all made it to the wash room.

"Would you lik eme to come in and help you?" Kella inquired softly.

Conall couldn't argue with them and so he conceded, "If that is your wish, m'lady. " Inwardly , however, he couldn't deny that he somewhat enjoyed having her concern.

However, he didn't miss the smirk on Katahnia's face nor her cheek and he shook his head at her. As if SHE were one to talk!

He walked with them. He didn't mind. He was only too glad that Lord Turgall wasn't offended which , earlier...he was sure of.

Conall listened to Blaith explain what had occurred and he found himself agreeing with what Katahnia said. Although....what she said caused him more worry. "You shouldn't feel that way, Lady Turgall. One does what one must to protect oneself. Whatever Klaust thinks of you, it's...well, I am not he and I could not say but I'd venture to guess that either way , no matter what you do his views of you aren't proper or healthy. The important thing is that you take care of yourself first. Your friends and family would support you in such things because they care more for you than risking a small bit of damage to your reputation. " He assured her with a gentle pat on her hand.

"You're welcome, " he said, offering her a kind smile, "but really, I believe the credit goes mostly to your cousin. Were it not for her, I suppose....well, I wouldn't have been aware of what was happening. " He KNEW Kat was listening but pretended not to and continued , "You're very fortunate to have her as your cousin. She loves you very much."

When they arrived at the washroom, Conall smiled and shook his head, "Ansgar, bless you. You're too kind, but no. I don't think...it's not that I mind...but , you know.  I'll be fine and I think, "he leaned in close to her and whispered in her ear, "I think someone ought to keep an eye on Katahnia. She's had a couple glasses of wine and I don't think she holds down her drink terribly well. I suspect that she's gone a bit...silly. " He stepped back, grinning. That was a jest , naturally. He waved a hand, " You've done more than enough for me. Please, go enjoy yourself. Perhaps I'll join you all as soon as I've made myself slightly more presentable, hm?"

Kella blushed but nodded her head. "Very well then," and she stepped nearer to her cousin, who was smiling like a cat at the pair.

"I'll be sure to keep us away from the wine," she said with a playful roll of her eyes, then turned to Kella and smiled warmly. "Though perhaps we ought to think about calling it a night? It has been a long one for you, has it not?"

Kella smiled and shook her head.
"Oh no, do not let us retire early on account of me. I shall be ok. We could stay another hour, I am certain. The dancing has only just begun and they haven't even gotten to the group pairs yet."

Katahnia laughed. "Alright, if you wish, but if you don't wake up tomorrow on time..."
And Kella laughed as the two girls made their way from the wash rooms. But Blaith hung around, keeping close, even as his eyes watched the two girls disappear.

"Hey.." he began, speaking into the wash room where Conall was. "Punching Klaust in the face.." he began, idly kicking at the floor. "I just wanted to say thanks. And sorry I couldn't have been there to do it, first."

Conall pulled a face at Katahnia and it made him appear quite childish. For the record, he'd purposefully spoken loud enough so she could hear it. He grinned at her.

He sighed heavily and let his figure slump as soon as the women were gone. Klaust had hit him hard and a headache he would most certainly have this evening.  He entered the washroom after offering a polite nod to Lord Turgall. He expected the man would follow, but was surprised to hear the other speak to him through the door.

Conall smiled wearily and closed his eyes as he dipped a wash rag in a basin of cool , clean water. He , cleaned his face while he listened to the other man thank him , " I am only thankful that your sister is unharmed. I couldn't care less about ....him. He's a coward and a bully and were he in Ardal, I would have had him thrown out. Possibly thrown in a cell to cool off for awhile. " He considered it, " I don't think he'll go away , my Lord. Men like that...those eyes. The way he looked at her... deranged and lustful. I wonder if I should have..."

No. Such thoughts were....inhuman and paranoid. He was above that.

"If you wish, I could speak with the Delgrins to ensure that he will not be seen at this party anymore tonight. I'd run him off personally if I knew where he's slithered off to.  " He finished cleaning his face and stepped out of the washroom.

Blaith smiled.
"Yeah, if I could do it rightfully so, I'd cut off his balls, hell, I'd go so far to cut off his damn head after the fact, and do it slowly, so he could suffer. Slow, sawing slices, right through the neck," Blaith said with a shake of his head. "Though I suppose those laws aren't up to us, and Klaust is in his own brand of territory. As a merchant, he doesn't fall under one jurisdiction, but them all. I think he's got some minor alliances in Allar, and more coastal cities, and Hellvion, too, which surprised me. But I guess that worm must have something impressive to sell, or I'd doubt any of those duchies would put up with him. Though perhaps Duchess Melora's daughter is too young for him. And Allar has no woman behind the man on the throne."
He shook his head.
"But I digress, I do hope to chat with you again this evening, though I suppose I ought to be getting back to tend to the ladies." And he paused, hesitating at the door. "Will you be alright, Duke Shanely?"

Conall froze as Blaith described what HE would have done. And if his mother hadn't taught her son to mask emotions so well, Conall wouldn't have been able to force a mask of calm. Inwardly, he was ...quite horrified. Yes , Klaust was a pig but the man didn't deserve THAT. Unless Klaust had been assaulting women in whichcase he SHOULD hang. Conall did not believe in torturing people. Kill the wicked and be done with them. It cost too much to keep them locked up indefinitely and causing suffering was...just ....no. Wrong. It was wrong.

"Not surprising. I'm sure he and Vesrick are in bed together," Two pigs that deserved each other.

Conall elevated a brow at the comment about Calent being unwed. What , precisely, was wrong about being single? Calent WAS getting old though. Conall was still in his prime, at least. So long as he married within the next couple years , people wouldn't question it.  I'm in a similar position , but I'll just keep that to myself.

Conall nodded and bowed slightly, " I'll be fine. It's been a pleasure meeting you, Lord Turgall. Should you ever find yourself in Ardal, do feel free to drop by and say hello. "

When Lord Turgall had departed Conall went to seek Lady Delgrin. They were in the dining hall...again and ....he approached Lord Delgrin.

"Ah! Conall, my boy. I noticed you found your Lady friend!  I'm glad to hear it. I also hear you had a bit of a scuffle with a man? "

Conall nodded, " I believe all is well now. I took care of things although, I would...probably keep an eye out for Klaust. I don't...trust him. " No. He didn't trust the man would quit, but if the guard was tighter, perhaps that would deter the creep tonight.

"Excuse me. I'm going to take a walk outside, "Conall meandered his way back to the garden alone. He was beginning to feel...unwell. Perhaps, it might be time to call it a night.

I guess Klaust should be thankful that I got a hold of him first.

What Blaith had said scared him. It really did.

The girls had gone else where, and found the parlor room all but vacant, the piano within long since abandoned since Calent (who had been keeping the seat warm earlier) was still out on the dance floor.

"Oh, look! The piano's free!" Katahnia exclaimed, then gave a playful look over to her cousin. "I'll race you to it!" and the two girls were giggling as they rushed over to it, fighting over the bench before hands crammed playfully over the keys and made quite the ruckus.

"Ok, ok, you can go first!" Katahnia laughed, and Kella smiled proudly.

"Thank you," she said, then smoothed her hands down her skirts and let her fingers grace across the ivory keys. She played a soft song, one that had a deepness to it, a rich tone that spoke of hope and divinity, and the on coming delicacies of spring.  Katahnia smiled, the song warming her on the inside (or was that the wine still affecting her) as she took  up her new wine glass (which of course she got playful scoldings for from her cousin) and took a dainty sip and just admired Kella as she played.

But she wasn't the only one watching, as it appeared as if there were many eyes in the shadows.  Thankfully, Blaith had come along to join the pair, and even he had squeezed onto the bench, and was now playing a song in duet with both blondes at his side, and the group was laughing thoroughly, the music and laughter carrying well out into the gardens and into the night.
Katahnia's drunk singing could also eventually be heard too, but that sort of singing (albeit beautiful at time) purposely went soured along with the faulty keys she struck on purpose.

The music drifted down to his ears from one of the open windows above. Conall tried to hum the tune as he walked, with no destination in particular.  He was in better spirits now because , despite all of the...drama, things had turned out pretty well.

Maybe he'd visit Turgall after he finished the negotiations with the Obsidian Mantle. That had to come first, unfortunately, and it'd take weeks? Months? Who could say? It was difficult to convince people to meet each other halfway. Most wanted everything completely by their terms...and ,well, that only caused more fighting. But he was confident that he'd have everything smoothed out. Negotiations had been going surprisingly well...

And things were really starting to look up for Ardal. And perhaps...he could relax and focus on all of the things he'd been forced to ignore and set aside...

He stopped near a bench across from the fountain and sat down . He could hardly hear the music now from here . It was quiet, still but the air was nice and...he looked up. The view was nice too.

ooc: It'd be funny if he saw breasts...just saying. LOL.....

The night went on, pretty uneventful as the trio continued to reek havoc upon the piano. It wasn't until later did some of Allarian men come in and Blaith was drawn away into some more playful conversation, while Kella was left to pick away at the piano with her cousin Katahnia, who had one too many drinks of wine at this point. Kathania was all smile and rosey cheeked as she left the piano to her cousin and leaned over the balcony.

"Gods, it feels wonderful up here. ANd look at all of those stars!" she stated, staring up at them in wonder-
And she was so enamored with them she hadn't noticed the figure looming behind them, because everyone had believe the demon had been run off, so she hadn't thought to care much more into him and let herself slip away to the bubbly affects of alcohol. ANd it was here, as she leaned over did she noticed Duke Shanley below and gave a leerful grin and wave to him- when suddenly she was pushed over the side and began to tumble down to the world below.

There was no sight more glorious than peaks of ...

Kahtahnia's bosoms? He had been staring and ...he saw her grinning down at him.  He blushed furiously and averted his gaze.

Great. Now I'll have a reputation for being a pervert. What is she DOING?

He dared to look up again and....

What is she DOING!?

She was falling! Ansgar's blazing balls! (a term made quite popular by father) He stood up and ran over to the balcony, closer and held out his arms, trying to catch her. And catch her she did. "Katahnia!" He was concerned AND cross with her. "I thought you promised to stay away from the wine!"

She was SO drunk that she'd fallen off the balcony? He hadn't seen that she'd been pushed.

He tried to ignore the awkwardness of it all. His hands, he was sure, had touched the woman unintentionally in places that just were NOT very gentlemanly of him! He finally got her to stand, somewhat but she kept leaning over on him. Could she even STAND?

"How much did you have?" It was probably like four glasses. "Good lord, remind me to never invite you to any of the festivals in Ardal." She would not last long with rum. Or beer . Drunk on a few glasses of wine! This was just sad.

So sad!

Katahnia was petrified and found herself clinging onto Duke Shanely, even as she instinctively was fixing her dress (that of which was nearly falling off her shoulders by now from the fall and showing FAR too much breast, almost ALL of them). But that was the least of her worries. She could barely keep herself standing for she was shaking so bad.
And at his words, when they finally caught up to her, she turned to him with an angered look and a slap.
"I.. I did NOT do this on purpose! I'm not THAT drunk" she shouted, tears in her eyes. "I.. I was pushed!" and when she turned to the balcony where she had once stood.. no body was there. Her eyes wavered. "I.. I swear it.. I was pushed!" and she shoved Duke Shanley away angrily as she moved to walk, only to find herself tripping over her shoe that had become loose as she let out a noise and began to fall.

She slapped me?

He stood there, staring at her stupidly and unblinking.

She slapped me!

"I wasn't suggesting that you did-" Conall began and he somewhat shrunk back at her yelling at him. Woah. Her wrath could have rivaled his mother's.

What was her problem? He'd just saved her from maybe breaking her back and she hit him? Women! He was slowly understanding what his father meant by the female species being a completely unpredictable lot. He rubbed his cheek. She'd left a mark, but it wasn't visible through the beard. It stung though. "Alright. Sorry."  When she mentioned being pushed his eyes widened, "Wha-?"

Was she serious? Or maybe she...?

And then she shoved him. Conall wasn't a light fellow but her aggression took him off-guard and she managed to effectively push him back but only because he wasn't expecting it and he wasn't about to risk hurting her.

She tripped and he caught her, but maybe he should have just let her fall flat on her face. He righted her and hastily let go and retreated because he feared another slap coming on. His face was bruised enough from Klaust kicking it.

"Maybe it was an accident. It's crowded and someone could have bumped into you?"  He wasn't going to DARE insist that he thought it possible that she was imagining things. He wasn't THAT stupid. He knew it'd piss her off. Royally.

Kathania blushed when she had been caught, and turned away from him once he had retreated back. Though at is words, she shook her head and turned aroudn to him, spitting out, "It was not crowded up there! It was only me and Kella-" and then her face went as white as a ghost's, her eyes widening. "Kella.."
That was enough to sober her. And she promptly turned away from him again and began to race towards the stairs.

Anger flashed through him at her tone. At her treatment of him. He didn't deserve it and he wasn't going to let her talk to him like that even if she did have nice bosoms personality.

He opened his mouth to speak when she mentioned Kella and just took off.

And he was about to follow after her when he felt a familiar pain flare up in his chest. It tightened around his heart like an unmerciful vice and caused him to gasp softly.

Shit! He couldn't let anyone see him like this! Why did his body have to act up now?

He hid behind one of the tall statues of Ansgar in the shadows, grasping at his chest and fighting to breathe. Every ragged , shallow breath he took hurt.

I'll wait here a few moments.

He could hardly move anyway. He could hardly breathe. If he tried, his legs might buckle under him and he'd be lying there...and he didn't want anyone finding him like that.
